Please read this, particularly if your a single / independent lady
Now this is a post about something that has been playing on my mind and i wanted to run it past people
I like making people happy. It is like it is one of my drugs of choice (Love & Bouncing like a loon being the others). I get a warm fuzzy feeling that resonates through my core, I was thinking an odd kink, but it doesn't turn me on and it is something i seem to be addicted to, so drug makes a nice analogy.
Now the way this manifests itself in my life is quite numerous and varied.
Giving people lifts, typically when I'm heading in that vague direction, but i have been known to go well out of my way at times if someone is stuck or its raining or i'm just in that mood. I've done it many times with people i've just met too. If I offer it is because i'm happy to help. I also like company and someone to chat to always brightens a journey.
My brain picks up likings for people and associates things with them. By what i mean is i have friends who like frogs, monkeys, pandas, unicorns, star wars, fishes, leopard print and many many other weird and wonderful things. Now when i see any of the above i go "Ooo XYZ would like that". This is usually why i post various bits on friends walls, journals, emails etc. My brain auto tunes to these things too....Like say when you haven't seen X car, then you go Oooo cool and then start seeing them every few days and before you'd never seen them.....I do this with bits for friends.
Now the link bits are easy, free and frivolous and are pretty meaningless, so i have little issue with them, however I seem to go somewhat further. I have a love of shopping and will in the right mood just wander for wanderings sake. I like strange and curious shops best and things that are random like tkmaxx. Needless to say i often find odd and random bits i think friends will like. Usually pretty cheap and insignificant and when in the right mood i've been know to buy and typically send the bits. Now i'll state now that there is no more meaning in most of these than "Saw this, Thought of you". I expect nothing more than a smile and a thank you....Often in fact the thought of the surprise smile is the kick.
Now it tends to be single ladies or someone i know well, the reason being that attached ladies are a bad idea are boyfriends get jealous and I never want to cause problems there. And well guys it just seems a bit wrong....There are a few close mates that i would, but its not my norm.
I do this because I want to...Not to curry favor or gain anything in return, just 'cos I like being nice and brightening peoples days.
